I've been to Morrisons (but i've never been to me)

They have them at £3.50, but I have a Morrisons "More Card", which means they were half price!
They have Apple Crumble ones too that I might try.
I'm going back tomorrow. For "More" obvs...

Went to Brighton today.
We parked in Hove so we could have a bit of a walk along the seafront to get there.
I bought some pens and a REALLY expensive comic book notepad (which I should have checked the price before I went to the till..).
Had meatballs for lunch in IKEA.
I do like Brighton.

Went for a lovely morning walk.
It's pretty cool living by the sea.
I try and get down to the seafront most days.
It's fabulous for my mental health.
I'm so pleased we moved to Hastings.
